Filming Ideas - Update

Yesterday we were browsing through the media work we had completed in our previous year, and seeing how effective our creativity was in our film introduction, and we both noticed the detail put in to the train station scene which we conducted as a murder scene, which made us both think why could we not do that again? And so we came up with an idea of integrating the effectiveness of a train station scene into the ending of our music video, not only would this hopefully give our video a good solid ending but will possibly make the video a little firmer in the sense of understanding by including Simon's death in the end. So in a way, we aren't filming just another murder scene at the train station, but instead we are integrating a suicide/accident scene which could give off an even greater effect of surprising our audience.


This is the location of the murder scene in our previous media studies project, and also the place we are hoping to use as Simon's suicide scene.

This is how we hope our idea would plan out:
Simon is worn down throughout the video until near the end he is left in a poor state, drunk, ragged and sickly looking, he stumbles in to his local train station and walks up to the tracks, staring ahead, Simon then hears the sound of an oncoming train, and looks to his left/right then stares ahead again.
EITHER:
After looking away for that brief second, then staring ahead again he sees the 2 mysterious masked figures on the other side of the tracks from him, they both nod once in unison, this then cuts back to Simon's face which is clouded with emotion, of which we think will be him frowning, then one of acceptance as he walks onto the tracks, this then fades to black.
                                                                 OR:
After looking away for that brief second, then staring ahead again he sees nothing, the camera then switches to the front of Simon, looking over his shoulder, but his face is still in view, he is slightly shocked and relieved, behind him the camera can see the two mysterious masked figures staring directly at his back, he then walks forward onto the tracks and the camera fades to black.

We are looking to film both of these scenes then try them out towards the end of our editing process to see which one is most effective.
